Initial analysis

The property at 2445-2447 Folsom Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by the Noreen E Romero 2006 Trust and constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past decades, with the most recent work being the permitted kitchen chimney removal and hood installation scheduled for September 2024 at a cost of $2,000. Other notable improvements include a furnace and flue replacement in 2011, conversion from overhead to underground electrical service in 2004, complete roofing replacement in 1998, and substantial exterior renovations in 2008 that involved replacing 2,200 square feet of siding and 12 windows on the back side of the building.

The building has experienced some maintenance and safety issues over its history, including a violation in 2009 regarding an exterior wooden utility ladder, which was promptly addressed and removed. A 1996 complaint noted multiple issues including plumbing problems, fungus/mildew, electrical concerns, and stove malfunction, though this was marked as resolved within ten days. More recently, there have been multiple reports of parking violations in the vicinity, including sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, with several resulting in citations. A damaged tree incident was reported and resolved in March 2023. While there was one recorded incident of a smoke detector activation due to malfunction, no civilian injuries were reported, and there is no evidence of recurring fire safety issues in the available records.

Risk rating

How 2445-2447 Folsom St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 333 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.3%
Moderate concern 17.6%
Severe concern 14.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
